Journal entry by Kathy Wiegand —
It's been an exciting spring. Julie has officially been off of chemo since September, and we have now had two stable MRIs and permission to get her port removed. Surgery for the removal will be at the beginning of May.
Many people have asked how she's doing. Great! She has gained weight, has more energy, and more ability to focus her attention. She still has some trouble with her balance, but she's been exercising more (a little at a time) to build her strength which is helping. She ran track this spring, has an exercise bike at home and uses a couple times a week, and is looking forward to swimming this summer. And her personality is really blossoming! It's beautiful!
To those who helped support AuroraWALKS to help fund the kid's pediatric family summer camp - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We were able to raise over $2,800.
Thank you all for your on-going thoughts and prayers!
Kathy
